Fire Duo Kit – Fire Hands & Bolas

This kit includes a pair of Gora fire hands and a pair of budget fire bolas, fitted with their wicks and holding systems. Fuel and protective accessories not included.

Duo Fire Kit – Fire Hands & Bolas:

The Duo Fire Kit combines two complementary props to vary your movements and visual effects in your shows. The Gora fire hands accompany dance gestures and create the illusion of flames suspended above the palms. The fire bolas let you trace circles and chain rotations around the body.

This set lets you build different tableaux: a gestural sequence with the fire hands, then a more dynamic passage with the bolas. Each pair has its own handling technique and is used separately.

The simplicity of the movements possible with fire hands does not dispense with training in fire handling. Practise your sequences without ignition before any use with flames.

NetJuggler's opinion on the Duo Fire Kit:

The interest of this kit lies in the diversity of gestures it offers. Fire hands favour body expression, without requiring throws or catches. The bolas bring circular trajectories and require specific learning of coordination.

The set is suitable for enriching a choreography or alternating two disciplines in the same show. You must, however, anticipate prop changes and plan a suitable space to set down and let each pair cool after extinguishing.

Gora fire hands: accompanying hand movement

Each fire hand has a base with leather insulation, a sprung metal stem and a Kevlar wick. It is held in place by a leather piece located under the disc. Depending on your hand shape, it can be held on one or several fingers.

The sprung structure gives the whole piece flexibility. The wicks are replaceable with a 25 mm wide Kevlar strip. The stated burn time is approximately three minutes and varies according to conditions of use.

Budget fire bolas: working on rotations

The pair of bolas includes two Kevlar heads, metal chains and tubular nylon handles. With a weight of 180 g for the pair, it offers a compact set for circular movements and fire juggling sequences.

The chains measure 48 cm. Their length can be shortened to adapt the equipment to your physique, taking care to keep the fastenings correctly closed and the assembly reliable.

What type of practice is it for?

• Dance and body expression: accompany your gestures with the fire hands.
• Fire juggling: perform rotations and sequences with the bolas.
• Performance: alternate two props to vary rhythms and trajectories.
• Audience: equipment reserved for trained professional adults practising fire. Mastering the movements without flames is a prerequisite.

Fire hands demonstration video:

This sequence illustrates how fire hands can be integrated into a choreography. The other equipment visible, in particular the body torches and the fire crown, are not included in the kit.

Optional complementary products:

To learn and rehearse the movements, use a dedicated pair of practice bolas. You can also find our bolas tutorials to work on your coordination before moving on to fire.

Plan for protective gear suited to the practice and appropriate extinguishing equipment. These accessories must be provided separately.

Fire bolas instructions: read before use

Whether you are a beginner or experienced, read the NetJuggler documentation before any use of the fire bolas. It complements the precautions presented in this product sheet.

Precautions for use: check the wicks, screws, chains, rings and holding systems before each use. Do not use damaged equipment. Practise in a clear space suitable for fire, away from the audience and flammable materials, with a person in charge of safety and appropriate extinguishing equipment.

Caution with fire hands: heat rises. Pointing lit wicks under the hands or arms exposes these areas to heat and flames. The leather base does not eliminate the risk of burns. Never bring the leather into contact with fuel and let the equipment cool before storing it.
